Weight-loss-forum is for adults only; approves of profanity and intimidation

[M2M]

I feel oppressed by you telling me that Steve or anyone else has the right to free speech but I do not. Why have I been discriminated against?

LOL!
Troll comments with an agenda.

BJ - You're not oppressed - you're entitled to your opinions - as was Steve.
You've made your point.

Now, either contribute to this forum in a non negative way, or leave.
It's pretty simple.

All further discussion of this will be considered further trolling.

Hey I am new to this and was wondering if anyone could give me some insight on crunches. I have belly fat and wonder if I should still do crunches, some people say if you do that you will build the muscle under the fat and it will stick out more, does anyone know if this is true. thanx bristol

Apology Accepted

Dude, I apologize. Really, there is no need for all of this. It is absurdity in its purest form. What you seem to miss is we are reading typed words. There is no possible way to determine how I truly feel, what emotions are backing my statements, etc.

You don't know me from a hole in the wall. You are new to the forum and therefore, have no idea what kind of "Internet persona" I have. Because of this, you mistook my part in OUR discussion as an attack.

I promise, for whatever its worth, I had nothing against you. At all. None of my statements were meant to bring you down or oppress you. I cared about the topic at hand, not you.

That is final. This isn't about you as a person or me as a person. You want to make it that, which is a poor prerogative IMO.




Why not let it rest, stick around and get to know some people before passing judgments of how we (I) really am, and have fun. I mean, what is your alternative? The path that you (we) are going down now is only going to lead to frustration.

So again, I apologize that I put my words in an order that led you to believe I had something out for you. Again, these truly were not my intentions.

Your apology is graciously accepted. Although I am not the one who made it personal, Steve.
Let's let bygones be bygones.

 

[maleficent]

well ok then - case closed.. howewver, bj, the although wasn't necessary and you could apologize to steve and to m2m for making it personal against them...

 

[Steve]

Excellent. So pull up a stool, grab a beer, or a protein shake, whatever floats your boat, and stay a while.

And realize from this point forward, I am emotional with the topics at hand, not you as an individual. I think you will find that across the board with any rational thinker who belongs to a forum and has a sincere interest at the underlying topic of discussion.

I'm a fairly seasoned forum user from the playground days of Usenet (where I have er... played), and I for one am pretty impressed at the level of fair sensible and adult moderation of this board. Keep it up staff, you are doing a good job.
BJ, if you don't agree with any particular poster, don't let yourself get involved in a flame war - just ignore them. Show us what a great member you can be by supporting others.

I joined this forum to discuss health issues related to bodyfat not to be attacked by the very people who are supposed to keep the forum safe.

The mentality of the moderators in this forum is enough to make a human being insane. Your cruelty has brought me to tears.
Please learn suitable methods of communicating your thoughts . . . even if your thoughts are filled with hatred.

The word Troll sounds to me like the "N word." I have heard it one too many times. The users of this forum are people whether good or bad and deserve to be treated as such.
I am leaving this forum to find a place free from threats and bigotry.

Wow, this thread was so yesterday! I thought we had all moved beyond it! However, I guess I was wrong!

Their intent, if you remove the veil you are looking through, is not to discourage you from being an active member, but to encourage positive contributions to the forum.

You have the right to disagree, but if you disagree on topics, you should be adult about it, disagree and move on, as should all the other members. You don't have to see things the way everyone else views them, but there are some things that people will say and have more experience or less experience than you.

Have you frequented many forums? If not, the term troll is used for newly registered members who come on and immediately begin to cause trouble for the forum. I have no idea about the actual conversation that this entire thread is referencing, so I have no opinion of who did or said what etc.

If you feel you need to move on, please do so, and I hope you find the answers for which you are looking!

Good Luck!
